2. A fishing boat was out to sea for 6 months and trav a total f 8,578 miles. In the first month, the
traveled 659 miles. How many miles did the fishing boat travel during the remaining 5 months?

Answer 1

To find the distance traveled in the remaining 5 months, subtract the distance traveled in the first month from the total distance. The fishing boat traveled 7,919 miles during the remaining 5 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use a tape diagram and the standard algorithm. In the first month, the boat traveled 659 miles. To find the total distance traveled in the remaining 5 months, subtract 659 from the total distance of 8,578 miles: 8,578 - 659 = 7,919 miles. Therefore, the fishing boat traveled 7,919 miles during the remaining 5 months.
